Membership limits are in place in order to comply
with FAI Codes of Ethics for young people, and the sufficient participation
limits that we can sustain considering that all our members now play in the
local Sligo Leitrim Mini football structures. However, if enough parental
assistance should become available, a session could be held to facilitate each
age group, instead of the current one session for all. Registration forms
